Thalassa
Her fist connected with a satisfying grunt in return. A few sailors chuckled, lounging against the railings to enjoy the show. Thal grinned but didn't let herself get caught in the moment, only enough to feel the thrill of the fight. After all, one second of hesitation could cost everything, something she'd learned that through years of experience on the ship. It served her well as Maea's own punch came sailing towards her. At least it didn't look like the pale Ancient was holding back. Maybe she actually cared enough to try this time. Something to consider later.
For now, the woman was fast, and had she not already been preparing her next move, the captain might have earned a graze, possibly even a black eye. However, before the hook could land, Thal was vanishing into thin air again, appearing on Maea's other side with a shadowy puff that had her winking in and out of existence. She shot for the kidney this time, hard and fast with a twist of her hips.

Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
In my blood, in my blood
